Sexual abuse as a child by a child

I read that abuse is when the other person touches you so this qualifies.

When I was 8 my best friend was a boy. He was a year older then me as I had been skipped when 6. We really enjoyed each others company, however things took a turn towards the dark side when I visited him at his house.

He took me out into the woods behind his house and . I didn't think much of this until I was an adult and I confronted his mother and not only did she tell me she knew about it, she changed the number she had had since I was a child the next day. Same thing I happened when I confronted my mom about it but even worse. She said she knew about it but was powerless to stop it. I was 8. All she had to do was confront the boy and talk to his parents. I've confronted other children parents for far less when my daughter was younger, and you know what? They were glad I brought the situation to their attention and the church ended up cutting down the bush the kids had crawled under to play " let's check each other out " as it was outside a child care room.

I think that boy might have been on the autism spectrum. I recently tried to reach out to him on Facebook but he has ignored me.

I did reconnect with him when I first started dating my ex husband and immediately he got to second base with me. He picked up where he left off when I was a child . Not only that his family invited me over for dinner! They knew exactly what was going on. For all I know they were grooming me to be his wife at age 8. I flat out rejected the idea.

I have more stories about other guys and men.

That's the first one.

Children "do" find themselves sexually and they don't really know what it means but they are curious if other children know about the activity that feels good. Also, they do get an idea that it's something adults are interested in. It is not unusual for a child to learn about it from another child who learned about it from another child. It's very important to talk about it with children and explain that it is wrong to explore with other children.

I was very careful about watching my own child, talking to her about it and I made it a point to have children/friends play at my home so I could watch and make sure nothing strange was going on.

I've talked to people about what's happened and the only conclusion we can draw is that boy was acting out what he had seen in porn. 8 is a young age to sexualize a girl. I had to do sexual abuse healing work with a therapist to recover from this.

It can happen at much younger ages. I know of someone who was very young that experienced an older brother that was pushing himself at the young girl, VERY young girl. It turned out he was sexually molested by a babysitter and he did not understand what he was doing was very wrong.

I don't know, I remember I first started when I was 4. Where did that come from? My daughter never did that. I've never talked about this openly before in public but I can now. I used to be a safe sex educator in college and this is way different .

Most children masturbate to some degree or another. Children's bodies are wired the same way adult bodies are and it is pleasurable to touch themselves. Even infants and toddlers play with their genitals when they get the opportunity to do it. Very young children do it quite spontaneously and unselfconsciously until they are socialized out of it (that is taught that it is not acceptable to do that in front of others or - in some families, taught it is not acceptable to do that at all).

This may be true, however I was not too many years later.

I remember when I was around 4 and 5 years old I had my first feelings of "arousal". Strange as it is, it happened. I was 5 or 6 when my female neighbor (who was about 10 or 11) told me to go to a certain channel on tv and watch it. It was porn. I was around 7 or 8 when she molested me for the first time.

I honestly feel some children can sexualize other children if they have the mindset for it. Not all children, but some. I've read its common for children to explore each other. It is not common for them to explore in such ways.

I didn't have my first feeling of arousal until a year after the incident I described , if I remember correctly.
